Special Skills & Experience:My name is Josh Hicks, and I am a well-rounded creative who has earned a Bachelor of Arts in Telecommunications, with a concentration on video production, from Ball State University (2009-2013) and an Adobe certification for Photoshop in their Creative Suite 6.

My main studies included broadcast video production, cinematic video/film production, writing for television and film and film studies. I also took courses in graphic design, creative writing, philosophy and psychology. Photography also crept into my personal studies, as digital still cameras began to become a staple of student video productions.

Rather than writing more paragraphs, I will spare your time and just list a few other points.

• I have written, directed, photographed, edited and scored a few short films, music videos (one that has appeared on MTV.com for a band called Diarrhea Planet), mini-documentaries, a "mockumentary," and a handful of public service of announcements for the Indiana Civil Rights Commission.

• I have worked with RED and Sony cameras, but I own a Canon 5D Mark III, along with plenty of lenses that cater toward a "film" look. Honestly, if you put anything in my hands, I'm positive I could figure out how to use it.

• I am currently writing one short film and one feature film to be submitted to festivals in Kentucky.

• I work musically. I don't know what I mean by that, but I guess I can't work without a rhythm. I play blues guitar and enjoy very much the roots of music and appreciate music history.

• Before moving to Kentucky, I worked full-time for a year and a couple months at Taxman Brewing Company as their Creative Director and Social Media Manager.Credits:
